Mumbai Indians have always been one of the best teams in the IPL. However in this season, they have not only performed rather mediocre but also shocked many fans of other teams too with their unusual performance. Last IPL witnessed the fall of CSK which upset a lot of people, given the splendid track record of Chennai Super Kings in all the IPLs. This has changed this year and CSK was the first team to enter the playoffs. Since MI and CSK are regarded as rivals, it is being highly anticipated that MI will also pass through the playoffs and fans will once again get to see the two rival teams lock hoRns with one another. In the match against RR that happened on 05/10/2021, Mumbai Indians brought their magic back on the field!
Rohit Sharma & co: During the toss, when the coin was up in the air, Rohit Sharma called head in a quirky way. When RR captain Sanju Samson tossed the coin in the air, Rohit called “HEAAADDS”. Upon hearing this, the presenter Simon Doull said it was “The best call of the tournament”. Rohit Sharma, after winning the toss, said that “We have tried everything in this UAE leg, but the wicket here doesnโt change much. We know where we stand at the moment. Two changes: Ishan for de Kock and Neesham for Krunal.โ However, MI pulled through and outperformed Rajasthan Royals. RR, who batted first scored a low total of 90 runs in 20 overs. Coulter-Nile grabbed 4 wickets, 3 wickets by James Neesham, and 2 wickets by Jasprit Bumrah. When Mumbai came down to bat, it was as if the match had stopped immediately. Mumbai’s batsmen, Rohit, Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, and Hardik Pandya beat RR’s total in just 82 overs and gave some huge hopes to the Mumbai fans.
